GEHENNA – Seen Through The Veils Of Darkness (The Second Spell) — 2025 Remaster
Seen Through The Veils Of Darkness (The Second Spell) is Gehenna’s
first full-length album, originally released in 1995, and one of the most important
statements of early Norwegian melodic/symphonic Black Metal.
The band kept their characteristic sound intact, but elevated every element: the melodies are sharper,
the arrangements more refined, and subtle details shine through with a new level of confidence.
For the first time, Gehenna also dares to incorporate fast-paced passages into their songs,
expanding the dynamic range without losing the album’s mystical atmosphere. Considering the compositional
level, it’s hard not to be impressed by the band’s enormous development in only two years since their inception.
The result is a genre highlight: a symphonic Black Metal masterpiece that still stands tall today.
This 2025 edition features a brand new remaster by
Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony, ensuring the best possible sound
for this timeless classic while preserving its cold, arcane spirit.
